Greg Brockman, President and Co-Founder of OpenAI tweeted that the company is currently working on a professional version of ChatGPT. The platform is planning to offer higher limits and faster performance along with a link for the “waitlist” to test out the upgraded version.
As per Linas Belinas (via), OpenAI is expected to display a premium plan which is priced at $42 (roughly Rs. 3,400) per month. This version will be facilitating exclusive benefits with no downtime, faster response time, and first access to new functionalities.
There are multiple users that are noting the Professional Plan option on the website at the cost of $42. Zahid Khawaja, a Twitter user and developer who is actively working on several AI projects, shared a video of the upgraded tier in action on both desktop and mobile.
